* It’s Friday, and that means it’s time for an update on music at St. Thomas Roasters coffee house.

Tonight’s artist, Paul Zavinsky, has made many appearances at Roasters. Paul, who works at WITF TV-33, digs classic folk, country, blues and rock tunes that he sings while playing guitar and occasionally mouth harp. Plus, he’s willing to take requests. Join me tonight at Roasters, 8–10 pm, to hear Paul do his thing. As always, FREE admission.

Saturday night, Roasters will feature The Pratts (pictured), a couple from Mechanicsburg that performs Christian and cover songs, along with a few original tunes. I heard them in October, and they get a B² thumbs-up. Stop by Roasters 8–10 pm for some good stuff.

* Hey, did you hear that Santa is scheduled to tour the Linglestown area Sunday afternoon?
